Method

  1. Pour the passata into a small frying pan. Add the salt and oregano and bring to a quick boil over a medium heat. Once it starts boiling, turn off the heat and set aside.
  2. Place the queso fresco or ricotta in a bowl and add the coriander and salt. Mix well and set aside. To make the entomatadas, gather the tortillas, the cheese filling, warmed tomato sauce and a large plate.
  3. Heat the oil over a medium heat for around 3 minutes, using a clean frying pan, big enough to fry the corn tortillas individually.
  4. Using a pair of kitchen tongs, grab a cold tortilla, fry for one minute, flipping sides halfway through cooking. Grab with the pair of tongs and place in the tomato sauce. Drench the tortilla in it and then remove.
  5. Put on the plate, add 1 tablespoon of the cheese filling then roll the tortilla. Transfer to a platter dish.
  6. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas until all the entomatadas are made and sitting on your platter.
  7. To serve, simply scatter some shredded lettuce, avocado slices, queso fresco or feta and soured cream over your platter. Serve with some fried pinto beans on the side.
